A round-up of the very best live tournament action in the world including a victory in the €50,000 Super High Roller at the PokerStars Championship Barcelona, and wins for Sean Winter and Cary Katz in the Aria High Rollers.
It’s been a tragic week in the lives of inhabitants of Barcelona, but life goes on, as does the PokerStars Championship, with Igor Kurganov taking down one of the biggest prizes of the festival.
A day after the Barcelona terrorist attack death toll rose to 15, it was apt that a man devoting his life to reduce suffering in the world would take down the top prize in the €50,000 Super High Roller.
PokerStars Team Pro, Igor Kurganov, entered the final day 2/9, with Koray Aldemir in the boss seat. Fellow PokerStars Team Pro, Daniel Negreanu also made the cut but would be the first player eliminated when play resumed on Day 3.
